Street Level Rise

Verse 1

Concrete cracked where the bassline bends

Four a.m., my shadow's best friend

Streetlight humming above us now

Every block got its own anthem going down

Chain-link rattles like it's keeping time

Taxi cab lights blink through the grime

Nobody asking me to keep it low

This whole avenue knows where I go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground start turning gold?

Something underneath us starting to unfold

Chorus

Street level rise, lift your hands above

Every corner turns into something we love

We built this fire out of every broken stone

Street level rise, never letting it go

Verse 2

Old lady's window still got the same blue light

Now it's strobing with a thousand others tonight

Tires squeal but nobody speeds away

This whole city turning from grey to ray

Corner store speakers drowning in the sound

Strangers turn friends on a single block round

Police lights flicker and then they fade away

Streetlight anthem says we're not afraid

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the ground start turning gold?

Something underneath us starting to unfold

Chorus

Street level rise, lift your hands above

Every corner turns into something we love

We built this fire out of every broken stone

Street level rise, never letting it go

Bridge

Maybe the night was always meant to break through

Maybe gold's what the city's been hiding from you

Don't need a reason, just stand and stay

This is ours now — every single way

Chorus

Street level rise, lift your hands above

Every corner turns into something we love

We built this fire out of every broken stone

Street level rise, never letting it go
